Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty-Eight [Villain Desires] (2 in 1)(1/2)
Chapter 238 [The villain succeeds]!
(Two in one, six thousand words chapter!)
Rosario was easily done. The creator of the great achievements who won three consecutive championships in the martial arts competition was ambitious to use the reputation he had made - this idea was originally correct, and if Anthony had not appeared, Rosario would have succeeded.
However, the rise of Anthony, a newcomer, was obviously a master who guided him from behind the scenes. The route he took was more popular, more popular and popular than Rosario. And it attracted attention in the fastest and most explosive way, which was equivalent to breaking Rosario's wealth.
Even if Chen Daolin and Angulo did not come forward, Rosario himself was ready to challenge Anthony's junior.
Rosario is a standard traditional warrior of the Roland Empire. He has received systematic martial arts training since childhood. He has been practicing hard for many years, and has stepped up step by step. He has made his mark when he was in his thirties and then reached the peak.
His temperament is quite a bit of the persistence and arrogance of a warrior. In fact, he doesn't really look down on a guy like Anthony who is born in a "wild way".
Anthony is from a mercenary organization, and most of his martial arts are accumulated through actual combat combat and killing. In contrast, Rosario is considered a "professional" and a serious disciple of the martial arts school and a famous teacher. When he was young, he lays the foundation, works hard to practice basic skills, and then climbs up step by step.
So, when Angulo sent someone to Rosario, Rosario heard that the famous Pompeii Chamber of Commerce in the Empire was willing to sponsor and support him to hold a challenge competition against Anthony. He immediately felt flattered and was surprised.
The price offered by Angulo is very attractive. As long as Rosario is willing to play, if Rosario defeats after the competition, the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce is willing to invest in the martial arts hall of Rosario in the imperial capital.
And further promote the expansion of the martial arts hall. With the power of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce in the empire and its influence in the upper class, Rosario's martial arts hall is just around the corner.
Of course, no one mentioned during the negotiations what if Rosario was defeated.
Just because everyone knows that in the event of martial arts competition, success, king, defeat, bandits, and victory is certainly admired by thousands of people, if they lose, they will have to get out of the imperial capital in shame and stand in the public's sight. Once they are defeated, they will naturally give up any major plan of the martial arts school.
However, the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce still proposed to pay a "appearance fee", which was quite low
No matter what the outcome is, the appearance fee will be paid. Even if Rosario is defeated and leaves the imperial capital and returns to his hometown to retire, this money will be enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
The only requirement made by the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce is that during the competition, Rosario must use his own designated weapon:
The Force Sword!
Rosario was originally unwilling to do this requirement. As a traditional warrior, his philosophy is to respect the weapons in the hands of warriors. The sword of a sword practitioner is the second life of a warrior, how can he change it casually? Besides, if he changed a sword rashly, his many years of habits and many small tricks and movements will be affected.
However, the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce was very tough on this point and refused to give in at all.
Rosario eventually had to accept this request - he had been together in the imperial capital for several years, even if he was proud, he knew very well the weight of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce in the Empire! This is the top chamber of commerce ranked third in the Empire! It has a strong influence in the upper class and has the support of the royal family.
Facing such a giant, if he angers the other party, he is a small folk warrior and will never have the power to compete with him.
After getting Rosario, Anthony is next.
However, after contacting Anthony, things did not go as smoothly as expected.
"This guy Anthony is too cunning." A few days later, Angulo came to complain to Chen Daolin.
The fat man's expression and tone seemed very depressed. As soon as he sat down, he drank a large cup of tea, then picked up a cigarette and lit it, took a few sips before telling Chen Daolin what happened.
It turned out that the people from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce contacted Anthony according to the previous way of contacting Rosario. When they proposed to invite Anthony to have a competition with Rosario on New Year's Eve, Anthony clearly and simply rejected the invitation.
Even the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce offered very generous conditions, including that after the victory, he could get the financial support of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, and helped him open a martial arts hall and promote it vigorously in the imperial capital, and he would pay an expensive and huge appearance fee regardless of the outcome.
But the young man still refused.
"Although this kid is a warrior, he is as cunning as a fox. I have seen through it. He is just playing the trick of stopping as soon as he gets. This guy has won the championship in the martial arts competition and has already won all the benefits he can get. If he continues to participate, he will not increase much profit. If he fails, it will be a waste of all his previous efforts. It is difficult to convince him to go to the battle at this time."
Chen Daolin frowned: "It's so soft, can't we get some hard?"
Angulu smiled bitterly: "I think so. But this kid is a bit unusual now. He won the championship this time, and the wind is in full swing, and this little white-faced is really a woman. It is said that several noble ladies admire him very much. There are several famous socialites in the imperial aristocratic circle, all of whom have lovers, and one of them is a very rich and powerful widow who is fascinated by him. With this guy in this relationship, I can't openly deal with him. You know, those women who are fascinated and lose their minds,
Everything was done." Speaking of this, the fat man paused and said, "If it were just these illegitimate women, the problem would not be too big. But the key is... I have learned that this kid did have the shadow of Tulip Workshop in the process of winning the championship this time! His set of "Hundred Flowers Knight Armors is a fist product launched by Tulip Workshop this year. It was thanks to this kid who became famous at the martial arts competition. With the support of the Tulip Family, I really don't have a good start."
"That's how..."
Chen Daolin was a little in trouble.
In fact, from his true nature, among these two warriors, he prefers to choose Anthony as the spokesperson of the "Front Sword". In this competition, he hopes to win in the end, and then naturally become the endorsement idol of the Force Sword.
Because compared to the traditional Roland warrior like Rosario, Ni is more selling points and commercial value. He is young and handsome, with strong personal charm, and has a strong relationship with the opposite sex, which can easily cause consumers to imitate and have more idol packaging value.
But it is a bit difficult for this guy to be the backstage and refuse to play.
Simply put, Anthony is a person with strong "star potential" and Darling from the real world. He knows very well in his heart how terrifying it would be if he could create a "star effect" in this era!
"Let me do this, I'll go see this Anthony." Chen Daolin was unwilling to give up and decided to give it up in person.
Even though Anthony has been very prosperous recently, he still has no house in a place like the imperial capital where every inch of land is valuable. Of course, with his wealth, it is naturally fine if he buys a house that is standard for civilians. But now Anthony has a different identity, how can he continue to hang out in civilian areas?
And the mansions in the wealthy area are not something he can afford.
The most popular star in the imperial capital now lives in a guild.
Chen Daolin came to the guild hall in the carriage of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce. As soon as he got off the car, he looked up and saw the sign on the gate. He actually saw a not-so-obvious badge of the Liszt family. He couldn't help but smile.
He suddenly remembered that when he was temporarily staying at the Liszt family, the old butler Frey had warned himself that the entire hotel industry in the imperial capital had been monopolized by the Liszt family.
It seems to be true now.
This guild hall is located south of Triumph Street, not too far from Achilles Street, the most prosperous area in the capital. It is also close to the church headquarters - houses in the area of the capital are also extremely expensive.
When Chen Dao walked into the hall, a manager immediately went out to greet him.
Before Chen Daolin's visit, people from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce had made an appointment in advance, so the guild hall was prepared. As soon as Chen Daolin got off the carriage, the manager of the guild hall had already stood at the gate to greet him.
And looking at the other party's attitude, he was a little respectful to Chen Daolin. Chen Daolin felt a little moved, and he stopped when he saw that the other party's manager seemed to be familiar with him, and smiled and said, "Have we seen him?"
"On the day when Mr. Darling first came to the capital, I once accompanied Mr. Frey to greet you at the dock." The manager's tone was very humble.
Chen Daolin immediately understood why the other party was so respectful.
For the Liszt family, they still regard themselves as their future son-in-law. Thinking of this, Chen Daolin couldn't help but feel moved, wondering how that girl Lodell had been recently.
She lied that she was pregnant and resisted the family's marriage order, but it had been three months since then. Even if she was pretending to be pregnant, it should have been exposed long ago, but now the Liszt family has no action.
Chen Daolin has been living in seclusion recently, and has rarely set foot in the imperial capital, nor has it appeared in front of people. So gradually, this scandal has been forgotten.
Thinking of this, Chen Daolin couldn't help asking: "Well... Recently, has your clan elder ever...?"
The manager nodded and bowed, laughing: "How can the patriarch's itinerary be something that people of our identities can ask about. However, there are letters from the family that the eldest lady will come to the imperial capital during the New Year..."
As he said that, he looked up and looked at Chen Daolin deeply.
Chen Daolin suddenly felt a little headache--the fact that the girl Lodel caused trouble was quite a big deal. She ran to the imperial capital again, wondering what trouble it would bring to herself.
But these are all troubles in the future. Now, let’s take a look at the front of you first.
Chen Daolin suppressed his distracting thoughts and strode into the gate of the guild hall.
Anthony now has a different identity, so naturally he cannot live in an ordinary guest room, but instead has a separate house behind the guild hall.
Chen Daolin walked in with servants from the guild hall. When he arrived at the gate of the house, he saw two sturdy guards standing at the door, with their eyes shining brightly. Seeing Chen Daolin coming, he looked a little alert.
Chen Daolin looked at the closed door and felt a little unhappy.
This Anthony, such a big air!
Even though he is now very famous in the imperial capital, he dares to be so arrogant?
After all, he is just a folk warrior. Even if he makes a name for himself and has some connections, he is just a "actor" who is praised.
And I am a real court wizard. What is this guy’s confidence that he dares to neglect a magician so much? And he is also a magic professor in the magic academy?!
You know, the news of my visit was delivered last night. It would be fine if this guy didn't go out to greet him. When he came to him, he dared to close the door and even a servant or subordinate had never come out to greet him?!
Chen Daolin's expression remained motionless, and slowly walked to the front of the door, glanced at the closed door and frowned slightly.
The manager of the guild who was following the side looked a little ugly. He coughed and said to the two guards guarding the gate: "Great Master Darling comes to visit Mr. Anthony Byron, please come in and report it quickly and ask Mr. Byron to come out to greet him."
The two guards looked at Chen Daolin, and there was not much friendliness in their eyes. On the contrary, there was a faint hint of hostility.
Chen Daolin was strange in his heart and just waited patiently for a while.
A moment later, the person inside came back, opened the door and bowed and said, "Please come in, Mr. Byron will wait inside."
Waiting inside?
ha!
Chen Daolin laughed in anger.
A folk martial artist without any identity and title actually dared to let himself be the jazz court mage outside while he was carelessly waiting inside for him to come in and see him?
If this guy was either crazy, he would have some special reliance.
Chen Daolin had a little judgment in his heart, knowing that there would be no result when he came this time. However, he still smiled faintly and walked in slowly.
The yard here is not big, but the house is not small. A two-story building looks quite spacious.
The front hall door was open, and Chen Daolin slowly walked through the flower garden and walked into the hall. The manager of the guild was about to enter when he was stopped by the guards.
Chen Daolin was too lazy to get angry and said lightly: "I'll just go in alone."
The manager of the guild looked a little ugly. After all, Chen Daolin was still the nominal "son-in-law" identity of his family, so neglected Master Daling, which was equivalent to disguisingly rejecting the son of the Liszt family.
The manager was secretly annoyed and decided to report to the manager of the imperial capital after he went back - it would be better to drive this proud Anthony out of his guild hall.
As soon as Chen Daolin entered the door, he saw Anthony sitting in the hall.
This guy is indeed very beautiful, and there are a few other people in the hall, but Chen Daolin glanced over and his eyes were firmly attracted to him.
This Anthony indeed gave birth to a handsome face, with a high nose bridge and a clear contour of the face, full of masculine beauty of men. The blue eyes were like a pair of sapphires inlaid with brilliant blonde hair.
However, what made Chen Daolin slightly annoyed was that this Anthony was actually in disheveled!
